I have only been running this ROM two days and am really liking it. You guys are the best. Thanks for all the hard work on such a great product.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
Can I get a step-by step for this? After I install search where do I move it from? Thanks! - P

Also, 1.0.2 simply isn't working installing for me. It hangs at the black samsung logo screen, forcing me to nandroid back to 1.0.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
I odin'd the modem early yesterday and noticed right away that signal went from 2 bars at my house to 5....also dl speeds seemed to have increased....I said seem because I did not test at all....but it just seems to overall be better....very simple to do also....you wont lose anything....just odin the bin....place it in pda section....NO PIT IS NEEDED....auto reboot only....and your where you want to be...
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Could you please link to how can we do this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
See the stock EC05 thread.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
I'm trying to flash the maps fix for 1.0.1 but the flash aborts indicating a problem with the file. I can't open the zip in windows either.

Apparently I'm needing a lot of help today. :P
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
1.0.1 is obsolete. Flash 1.0.2 - if you hang, try an older version of the kernel, if going Odin back to stock, redownloading the ROM, and formatting your SD card doesn't take care of it. And that means you got a bad download, if you can't open the zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
Yeah - tried that. - 1.0.2 hangs at the samsung logo screen, similar to what 1.0 did. 1.0.1 had no problems with that.

thanks for the response...any advice?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
I edited. 10char
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
Will do, and thanks a million. I love this rom/kernel.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Thanks got it. But i think i will wait to hear more reports on how it does. Cant wait for 1.1.
[Epic 4G Android Development] s84471:
I've noticed more or less the same thing. Speeds from Speedtest are roughly the same, but the web just feels faster. Might be a placebo thing, but I think the EC05 modem is definitely a good update. And who knows, maybe it'll fix the baseband problems I've been having.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Flashing back to stock now =(
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Thank for the input. I will odin after work.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Do i need to isntall any drivers b4 i Odin?
[Epic 4G Android Development] MysteryEmotionz:
Srf based on ec05 is fast and smooth. K0 gave it to me yesterday to put my touches in. reboot, am/pm removal, and the theme.

k0 gave it to me with CIQ and sprint id removed. Between k0 and samsung ec05 is running wonderful and I couldn't be happier with this update.
[Epic 4G Android Development] popssracer:
nascar app?

This rom is very nice, and everything went smoothly for my first custom rom flash. Many many thanks!!

The only piece of sprint provided software i would like to have back is the nascar app, and i cannot seem to get it to work. I downloaded the sprintapps zip file and installed it, but it says it is for sprint and nextel users only. I have googled the problem, and there was mention of changing the branding or something in the framework files? Can anyone clarify this for me? Maybe provide some helpful instruction? This is kinda a dealbreaker for me, im not even that big of a nascar fan, but i really like to listen to the races, as i am not usually around a tv when they're on.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Not sure that ive read it anywhere but what error is the "buzz, buzz buzz buzz" and a freeze on startup?

Whew, 2nd flash took. 1st one froze on startup.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kerby132:
Thanks for your help. The Epic4G_FroyoUpgrade_EB13_Tool.exe finally got my radio back up and working. ODIN just kept giving me the same results.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
I put my phone in download mode but Odin doesnt see it. Win xp doesnt recognize usb device connected. Can someone please tell me why?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If you're using the stock cable, that's why - unless you've not installed the drivers.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Damnit, still cannot mount to my Mac.

Odin'd back to eb13, then flashed my way back up to 1.0.2. Still have the issue. Has to be on the Mac side. What a PITA.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
I have installed the drivers and this cable is not stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Have you tried other USB ports?
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Yea, i have tried every one of them.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Very strange. Can you even connect in USB mount mode?
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Yep it does.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Okay, good - have you tried Heimdall or the Samsung tool?
[Epic 4G Android Development] jbadboy2007:
I have odin open before I connect phone. Also if you just installed samung drivers reboot phone and pc then try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] devolvix:
I am still experiencing a Phone reboot with Wireless tether. I tried the 1.0.1 patch and now upgraded to 1.0.2.

Process:

Turn on 4G (wait for connect)

Tap wireless tether

Settings: Device Profile (Samsung Epic 4G), Setup Method (Softap for Samsung)

Everything else is unchanged.

Seems normal, I get the pinwheel for starting hotspot or whatever. I see some sprint hotspot thing pop up in the tray above, then moments later the pinwheel stops and it reboots.

I'd really like to fix this, if you have instructions I can go into debug mode and dump some logs or whatever will help.

Thanks

Sprint Apps Install

If I install the entire Sprint Apps zip will I be able to individually uninstall the programs that I don't want or no longer need?

TIA,

[Epic 4G Android Development] axp878:
Did you wipe your phone before installing the rom? I had the exact same problem on 1.1. After I wiped my phone and installed 1.2 fresh it has been working fine.
[Epic 4G Android Development] devolvix:
If by wipe you mean: Clear Cache & Data in clockwork mod? Than yes, 3x actually.

I did not format my SD Card though.
[Epic 4G Android Development] pcorlatan:
Wow I'm loving this ROM, with my first try I kept having FCs but on the second all is well now. Battery life is not great but I'll look into that, I have a lot to learn in regards to customizing my Epic. I learned a little bit back with my Touch Pro and TP2 and am happy I can make my Epic much better now. Thanks a lot and I'll donate a little bit once I get some spare cash in my PayPal.
[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
question... My epic is very slow is it possible the ec05 will fix that... if so will the stock radio odin'ed require a wipe? Is there a problem with EXT4 on the stock radio? I notice that K0nane's EC05 radio thread says not compatible with EXT4... just wonderin... and TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
i'm on eb13 modem, i flashed latest acs, phone is super responsive, more than bonsai for sure. what do you mean by slow?
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
after using odin and going back to eb13 stock, 1.0.2 simply will not boot. I restored it back to 1.0 and all I'm missing is the hardware search button. unless there are no other suggestions, I'm happy with this until a new version that works with my phone is created.
[Epic 4G Android Development] fczeuner:
Very nice. If I had to live with 1.0.2 forever I'd be happy. Knowing that an even better version is on the way blows my mind. I'm on EC05 and 1.0.2. I just pulled down a 5112kbs download on speedtest app from Philadelphia. Definitely better than EB13 for me.

One last thing, is there an ASOP lockscreen thats available... Thanks again
[Epic 4G Android Development] wphend00:
My phone is SUPERFAST, but I have 2x issues...

1) My phone locks up after running Live Wallpapers for a while. No "if's", "ands", or "but's" about it... it just flat out locks up. I can see, where set cpu is monitoring the battery temp, or perhaps the CPU temp, which shoots up to 98 and then over 100 right before the lock up. I have my CPU set to scaling on Demand, but would setting it to the default 1000\Conservative fix this?

2) I have an extended 3500mah battery. I guess I am running the twilight Kernel 1.0.4 beneath Malanga (SRF 1.0.2) and still can't get the battery to last more than 16 hours with minimal usage. What can I do to fix this?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
AOSP lockscreen is available in the Themes section. Thanks for your support!

On the first one - did you wipe data before install? On the second, discharge your phone, and charge it to 100% with the phone off, then wipe battery stats.
[Epic 4G Android Development] p-niiice:
If I try to install this and then flash an plder version of Twilight to avoid the boot lockup, can I simply flash right after flashing SyndicateROM?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Not right now - it auto-reboots. However, you can just swap the zImage from 1.0.3 into the SRF zip.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
this rom is awesome works flawlessly for me.

i have a request though is it possible that for the new version about to be released if there can be an optional maybe by an .zip or something where we can install a working galaxy tab gmail app. Not looking for it to be stock install just an option for those who want it (like me) as long as it works properly?

Also any idea when the new version coming out with EC05?

TIA
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
Don't ask for ETAs. We don't give them. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
Cool understood, but how about the request is it a possibility?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
If there's one that works, it'll be floating around. Give 'em a try.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
if i find one that works will it affect the settings as in the no carrier IQ?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
ok cool ill start searching for it

you wouldnt have one in mind that i can try would you?
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
That's a negatory.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Ma$etas:
ok ill keep searching and thanks for the great rom once again. Wonder what the new rom will bring as we already have everything we need on this rom
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
New hotness. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
Yeah read it back and couldn't understand what I wrote either... speed of 3g (no 4g here) is around 150-300k down and wondered if ec03 addresses 3g speeds and if it would work on my ext4 setup... tia
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
The EC05 version of SRF will work flawlessly with EXT4, as it is designed to. As for signal and data speeds, that's a roll of the dice. You can try the modem now with no ill effects. If it helps, great, if it doesn't, you're just screwed in your area.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
You got it backwards. Tap wireless tether and then turn on 4g after. If you do it once it should be stable until you reboot your phone. I get the exact same reboot issue if I try to start tethering with 4g already enabled.
[Epic 4G Android Development] adrift02:
I'm going to pretend that means my keyboard will work again ;)

Damn you samsung!!!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Mk4UmHa:
k0nane,

Please enable journaling, your ROM would be perfect if it weren't for needing to reflash whenever the phone shuts off unexpectedly.
[Epic 4G Android Development] threedfreek:
Many thanks!
[Epic 4G Android Development] philowneus:
Done testing my battery. I can get from somewhere between 8 and 30 hours depending on use. I doubt it gets much better then that on a stock battery.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ZeppelinJ0:
I'm really hoping this doesn't end at Planned Parenthood
[Epic 4G Android Development] devolvix:
Excellent! Definitely lets me run a wireless hotspot (and push data) in AP mode with 4G. Not too shabby.

I hate to be a stickler, but when I was just rooted, wireless thether never rebooted my phone. I'd consider this a workaround for a bug. But considering how many things are better than 2.1 rooted, I'm still a fan of this ROM, not a critic.
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
ok just need to make sure, im assuming you mean on 4g yes?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mike542:
I still keep Swype Force close error message along with other application crashing. I have this issue more than once with different roms using the Wifi Tether. ::confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] Craigmier:
Will the new released froyo from sprint get pushed to my Epic if I am running the latest Syndicate ROM? Or do you have to manually install it?
[Epic 4G Android Development] dbpaddler:
No, you have to be stock.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
When you try to use wifi tether, it's probably crashing, causing data corruption. This has been covered in the thread already ;)

No, there will be an ACS update for it :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] tmuka:
I had to reflash twice before I realized all the FCs were because of premature (before fully shut down) battery pulls while swapping my spare battery in.
[Epic 4G Android Development] k0nane:
It seems some people are more sensitive to data loss than others. It can be luck of the draw.
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Happened to me once too. When powering down, the phone will vibrate once once its safe to pull the battery. Also, i haven't had any FC'ing issues when doing the 3 finger reset either, i guess its safe?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yup, I haven't either :)

The phone is already off for the three finger method, so yes, it's safe ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Holy #$%! I get 4g at my desk now! I haven't turned it on since i updated modems.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, nice! Are you running the EC05 modem?
[Epic 4G Android Development] iSaint:
You know what that thanks is for ;););););););)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
That I do ;) I'll put the money in the mailbox :p I appreciate it man, and have fun there :p ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] megabiteg:
I just installed this ROM and when I go to the About screen it says that I have DK17 baseband... I just flashed EC05 just before flashing.

Any suggestions?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Have you flashed the modem for either dk28 or eb13?
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
Yeah, i had installed it early yesterday and was just happy that the phone still worked, didn't get a chance to really test it. This building is encased in metal, nobody seems to get a signal, we have to use radios to get a hold of each other. Seeing 4G, indoors, blows my mind.

BTW, i Odin'd back to stock and re-flashed everything. Back up and running great but still have the mounting issue with my Mac. Ive tried everything i could possibly do to the phone so i'm thinking it may be a Mac issue. If i need data off the phone i'll use WiFi or my card reader.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Could be, especially since it didn't work on stock. Works on my mac though :confused:
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Successfully odin'd ec05 radio but still on 1.01 rom. I dont notice any difference in signal at my house which has always been weak. I am waiting for 1.1 since i dont want to update to 1.02 and lose any of my shortcuts and customizations.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You don't lose anything from 1.01 to 1.02... the flash backs everything up and restores it ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
Nice, Let me try to do it now. Will report back.
[Epic 4G Android Development] madvj:
I started the process with 24% battery left, hope its enough to finish the process.

Edit: update went okay and i am on 1.02 now..
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Should be. We'll see :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] Foo_Blyat:
just noticed i didnt flash the EB13 modem but i did flash the right pit, can i flash the modem on its own?

EDIT: is there a mirror for the TAR file, my download is going super slow.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Yes you can :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
hey guys, you know i love the rom... i comment too damn much to be other wise =P

i just had a question about the batt like every other person....

on 1.0 the batt kicked the stock di18 rom in the teeth and had its way with its mother... and had good batt life too...

on 1.0.1 it was still really good but not as good.

i re-calibrated and just dealt with it cause it wasnt enough of a difference to care.

now on 1.0.2 its worse than 1.0 and ive tried recalibrating by the "charging on, charging off, charging on then wiping stats" technique

any advice?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Use setcpu. Set the governor to ondemand and the range from either 100-1.0 or 100-1.2. I use this and get amazing battery :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
BAM! I got it... Seems it only affected .zip files.

As long as i have a Zip extractor program open while the phone is connected then its fine.

WTF. Stoopid Mac... haha
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
hmmm you may have a point. i thought i had that but ive been wiping alot lately... and i forget i have to re-dl that... ill check back with results later.

just incase, what if that doesnt help? bad rom dl? maybe something else?

not really doing anything different from when i was running on 1.0, actually less considering im getting tired of dl'ing all my apps over and over (ive run into minor issues that require a re flash)

thanks again impaler!
[Epic 4G Android Development] hahansen3:
Would it be possible to offer both options of journaling and no journaling in future releases? I personally wouldn't mind sacrificing a little speed for journaling.

GREAT ROM, btw!! Very nice work! :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Lol, at least something works ;) :p

If that doesn't work, use one of the battery usage monitors to see if any rogue process is eating your battery :) Also, make sure you don't have too many things auto-updating too fast (no more than every 30min-1hr.)
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
you rock socks, ill let ya know if anything crazy happens
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
No problem, let me know how it all goes!
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
i second that, would be nice to have both options available.

dont know how much a pain in the ass it would be to turn it back on but any work is for sure appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] itisagoodname:
If you have the time, wipe the data 3x and reflash the ROM.

It took me 2-3 reflashes before i got back up to ~30 hours battery life. I just flashed stock back to 1.0.2 and battery life isn't where it was previously (still calibrating battery). It's still good ~5% / hr with little use (using Juice Defender/SetCPU(100-1200)).
[Epic 4G Android Development] ThrasherJKL:
cool, thanks for the info man!

i think i might odin into the next rom if they have the files to do so.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snager:
Hum i dont think its safe to do the three finger reboot, I've had couple data corruptions using this method. Since then I have never used it and never got a corruption. It all has to do with whats running in the background of your phone ...what files are accessed by android. If a data file is open and you do a 3 finger reboot, theres a chance it might get corrupted.

Just my 2 cent.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
You can't get data corruption when the phone is off..... when you do the three finger method to boot into recovery, the phone is off, and assuming you have powered it off correctly, you can't really get data corruption.
[Epic 4G Android Development] tenaciousj:
This please! I cant get more than 4 or 5 days out of any rom without journaling before having to reflash it.
[Epic 4G Android Development] quasi8:
I am also having this problem with FCs had to reload 3 times now its not luck happens anytime the phone gets shut off without being shut down
[Epic 4G Android Development] Snager:
I thought he was talking about 3 finger reboot when the phone is on ...you know

cam button + volume up + power button ....will reboot your phone
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Then how come I've pulled the battery before but not gotten the issue? ;)

I thought he was talking about recovery ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] darrinbc:
Ok, I have been happily using theis awesome rom trouble free for a while now and I could use some honest advice. My phone seems to be working really well right now with only a few very minor glitches with Pandora and bluetooth from time to time. But, nothing is going on that is of real issue. The only thing I have noticed is less than stellar signal. Pretty much average at best.

So here is the thing. We are getting ready to travel for spring break this coming weekend and I am wanting the best service from my phone. Would it be best to leave it alone for now or does anyone think it might be a deceint idea to flash the EC05 modem? I think I am reading correctly that some are flashing it on top of this rom? Does that work? If not then that makes it a moot point anyway I guess.

I am just after the best chance at getting good steady signal while on the road between Indianapolis and Washington DC.

Thoughts?

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
Well, seeing as our EC05 based rom should be out soon, upgrading to the modem might not be a bad idea at all ;) :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] TheBurgh:
Is the ondemand setting a better battery saver than the conservative setting?
[Epic 4G Android Development] theimpaler747:
For me it most certainly is, as it allows the phone to idle at 100MHz. :D
[Epic 4G Android Development] robl45:
ya, in this case it probably would be, bonsai goes down to 100 in conservative, if this one did too it would be better on battery.
